A few podcasts I'm listening to regularly -

99% Invisible
Ostensibly about architecture, it takes in elements of urban planning and things like that. It's just interesting stuff and I find it really worth listening to.

On the level of nitpicking :) I'd probably remove the outline of the logo box? Might have to see it but the outline doesn't look great. Or possibly remove the lines on either edge and make the horizontal line 100% of the page width?

Also, the height of the image is pretty good but the words seem a ...

The two pages I use the most would be the Homepage (which seems to be gone off the links) for all the latest posts and the Forum homepage when looking for something more specific. If it was up to me I'd use the logo at the top as the link to one of these two.

On the homepage, it seems to have ...

Oh right. I don't have access to Red Button stuff or iPlayer so I didn't know where the original extras came from. Hope there is some in the series.

Excellent! Do you remember if the "extras" bits appear on the iPlayer at the same time as the episodes of Series 2 or afterwards?

Fast Image Resizer for Windows

I used to use the Windows XP Powertoy Image Resizer all the time. It was just a quick right click short cut to create much smaller image files which I would then back up to a dropbox/Google Drive/Skydrive account. The quality of the smaller files was pretty good, not perfect if you were printing but ...

Google also has a reverse image search as part of it's engine. Go to Image Search and click on the camera inside the right edge of the search box, then enter the image URL.

Tin Eye was around before Google Reverse Image Search but I've found the Google on to be more reliable. I guess they have a ...

TrackMania Nations Forever

A fun racing game. Not up to the standards of GT or anything like that but still pretty good for a free download.

Trackmania 2 has to be paid for but the first edition is a free download.

What the hell are you talking about?

Okay, first, you need to get help with your English. You seem to know the right words but you need help from a native speaker who can put your story into a coherent narrative because it is extremely difficult to make any sense from it.

Second, I have no idea if ...

Strange. I don't get anywhere near that speed for ifile. I find it medium speed or not much faster than other sites like rapidshare, etc.

When a file, for example a film, is broken into 4 or 5 parts, downloading from Mediafire is far and away the fastest method that I've found.

And here's an online photo editor

www.pixlr.com

Its probably the closest to photoshop that I've seen. Obviously doesn't have photoshop's wide range but its still pretty good. It also has firefox and chrome add ons which allow you to click on an image and edit it in pixlr.

Very handy for quick ...

Works especially well with Mediafire downloads. So much so that whenever I'm trying to download something I'll search for Mediafire links first. The speed of the download seems to be much higher than from other download sites along with the simultaneous downloads.

www.ninite.com

A fantastic site when you have a new computer or just reinstalled your operating system. Tonnes of free vital applications that will be downloaded and installed automatically. I use this a lot.
